Want to try a super thoughtful, fun class with your little one this spring?  We knew you would!  With four unique classes and five locations in Austin, tuneBugz! is the spot for your child’s early music and movement education – and you’ll have tons of fun and make lifelong memories, too.

All the details: 

Programs
tuneBugz! research-based programs are always being updated to the latest and greatest of what’s best for your bbs.  You can catch their classes for Spring below, with more programs, locations and schedules than ever before.   tuneBugz! has been at the forefront of teaching little music-makers since 2009, using the Music Together® method to engage and teach kiddos alongside their caregivers for the ultimate early childhood music and movement experience.  

Music Together® For Babies Only
Birth to Nine Months  (Pre-Crawlers)
These babies-only classes focus on new parents and their babies to strengthen the parent-child bond and take a leap into the family’s music learning journey.  An expert music educator will facilitate the class to get important insights into how music learning will unfold developmentally for their child.  Parents also get to meet and bond with other parents in similar stages to support one another in the triumphs and difficulties of this stage of parenthood and babyhood.  After completing this introductory course, your family will “graduate” into the mixed-age class, which is open to all age groups.

Have nap time to consider?  No worries.  If the days and times don’t work for you or your baby’s schedule, you’re welcome to skip to the mixed-age classes in English or Spanish.  Lots of babies start in the mixed-age class, so you never have to feel like you’ve missed out.

Music Together® Babies Only classes are offered between morning naps, at 12pm and 12:30pm, at all five locations, weekdays and Sundays. (Click for class schedules)

— Canta y Baila Conmigo® for mixed-ages
Ages 0 to 5-years-old
Experience music, language and culture in this Spanish immersion music and movement class!  Canta y Baila Conmigo combines early music education and an immersive Spanish language experience for young children and their caregivers.  It’s taught by native Spanish speakers, talented musicians and experienced educators.

All levels of Spanish speakers are welcome and you’ll get to take home a carefully curated music repertoire of folk classics, familiar children’s songs and a wide assortment of traditional hispanic heritage songs and chants representing regions and cultures from across the Spanish-speaking world. 

Canta y Baila Conmigo® classes are offered at their Mueller & South Austin locations on Tuesdays & Wednesdays!  (Click for class schedules)

Music Together® for mixed-ages
Ages 0 to 5
This class gives children a chance to learn from one another and participate without the pressures of performing. The Music Together curriculum is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of ages and abilities, from infancy through kindergarten.  This class is a favorite for families because it gives kids a chance to take a class with a sibling while also making friends their own age.  How fun for your children to embark on their musical journey together!

Music Together® Mixed-age classes are offered six days a week at their five convenient neighborhood locations. (Click for class schedules)

Rhythm Kids
Ages 4 to 8
These “Big Kid” programs are for kiddos aging out of parent-and-child classes and ready to start their individual music and movement journey.  Kids will learn the skills of improvisation, soloing, and composition, as well as experience song and dance from around the world.  They’ll also learn choreography and songwriting, play musical games, and participate in drumming and instrument play.

Rhythm Kids® classes are offered on Saturdays at 11am downtown – off SoCo! (walk to Home Slice after class for a PERFECT Saturday.  How cute is that?)  (Click for class schedules)


Spring Semester Details
Spring Semester runs for ten weeks and begins March 26.  This semester will feature Maracas for Babies and Mixed Aged classes, Sea Turtle collection for Rhythm Kids, and Arroz con Leche for Canta y Baila Conmigo classes.  What does this mean?  Super engaging content geared toward each group to keep kids asking when they can go back to their tuneBugz! class.
